Ths fine weed from Just For Him has quite a nice almost butterscotch aroma to me from the pouch. It comes across as a very nicely behaved blend. The moisture level for me was just right. There is no tongue bite nor any gurgle. The taste and room note are very pleasant. It produces a decent amount of smoke and does not need much attention once you put a match to it. I have tried this blend in several pipes now with the same result. I can see me getting more of each of the Middle-Earth Series that I have tried thus far in the future. I must agree with the positive reviews below mine here. Very highly recommended.

I didn't think I'd be the first to review this... A good, solid smoke, I think that sums it up. I broke in a Savinelli Churchwarden with this blend from Just For Him, and it smoked well from start to finish. It arrived a little moist, but after a couple days letting it dry, I felt it was ready enough to fire up. the ribbon cut packed nicely, and holds a light well. Yes, sweet Virginia, but there's also Cavendish and Black Cavendish here, too. Hints of a campfire, so maybe a touch of Latakia pokes its nose in, but I'm not too sure. If so, it's very mild. There's a little vanilla to my taste, and a touch of toasted nuts. Past that, I'd be stretching. It's mildly aromatic, with a reassuring presence, nowhere near overwhelming. Ruins is a smoke you can imagine streaming from Strider's pipe while waiting for him to decide his next course of action.
This is another good offering by the tobacconists at JFH. If you like your Virginias with some character, this is a fine choice. I'll still give Shortcut to Mushrooms the nod when it comes to their Middle Earth series, but Ruins of Isengard is a strong addition to this line.
